I love getting a new graphics card just by updating the driver.
So the Tonga R9 285, one of their most recent cards and at a good price point, isn't being re-branded but everything else is? I find that rather hard to swallow.
Even if most are rebrands if they all come with HBM wouldn't that give them all a decent boost in performance?
Oland is the R7 250 isn't it? The R9 270 is the ancient Pitcairn (ie 7870) and doesn't support any of the recent features AMD have been talking about, so I very much doubt this info is accurate!Originally Posted by hexus
This fits in with earlier rumours when they were meant to be released this month.
Rumours have now changed to indicate a later release without rebrands.
I'm guessing that the drivers were done for the first case, and may not be indicative of what actually happens.

A rebrand isn't the worrying part, if this is true. The worrying part is that the 270 is going to be come the 370, the 240 will become a 340, etc. If it was going to be that the 270 becomes the 360 and the 240 would become the 230, then that would be alright.
From the rumours I read before now, the 390(X) and 370 will be new cards, and the rest will be rebrands. At this point I think I'll just wait and see.
seems like a suicide move to me, I hope it is not truth.
Why should I upgrade my 7850 if the new cards are just another rebrand of my card?
Still pushing these 2011/12 cards on us eh!? Enough with the god damn rebrands!!
Nah, I'm not completely serious. I'm just waiting for official words before I judge. But, seriously, if they all turned out to be rebrands, I might just give up on Amd If some are rebrands, I would be very suprised to see them do anything like rebrand a 270 as 370. I think a 280 would become a 370. That's pretty much how it's normally done with this kind of thing..
